Everyday Make Up For Hooded Eyes

I know that for a lot of people with hooded eyes it is hard to wear eye shadow. I know, because I have hooded eyes.. and NO it is not a bad thing, but when you wear eye make up on an everyday basis it can be a little troubling to spend so much time on your eyes and no one see it unless you close your eyes or you are looking down. At least that was my issue. For me it took a lot of trial and error on figuring out what looked best on me so I would just love to share my technique on applying a look you can wear on an everyday basis.

This technique can be used with any colors but I am creating a soft everyday look. What I use is the Naked Basics Palette and only used 4 the shades. Before Applying the eye shadow I used a primer to ensure I would not have any creasing and a long lasting finish. After applying the shadow I winged out my eye liner and applied a coat of mascara.

Now the first thing I did after applying the primer was pick up the shade(1) "Naked 2" and applying that all along the crease to use as our transition color using a dense blending brush.
Next I applied the shade(2) "Faint" with a small smudge brush only using the tip for precise application. When applying I look forward and apply the product right above my actual crease. Once I have mapped out where I am going to "create" the illusion of a new crease I blend that out. 
Then I take the shade(3) "W.O.S" and apply that on the center of the lid and blend out using an angled blending brush. Finally I use the same brush and apply the shade(4) "Venus" on my  brow bone. Now that I have the product in place I use my fluffy blending brush and blend everything together.






Now my look is complete! I love this for an everyday eye look. It is very soft and you can quickly turn it into a night look by adding the black shade "Crave"  to the outer corner of the eyes and making a sexy smokey eye. This look is great for people with hooded eyes because we are creating an illusion of a higher crease with this technique. That way our makeup doesn't get hidden by the crease in our eye.
